Building the political mandate for climate action
To coincide with the tenth anniversary of the Climate Change Act, we have published the results of new research into the attitudes of MPs to climate action, providing an insight into what’s needed to develop a stronger political mandate.
Using these insights, we are launching the next phase of our Climate Leadership programme helping politicians to understand climate impacts, and work with citizens to develop the right policies to meet the ambitions of the Climate Change Act, through the next decade and beyond.

Shaping UK climate policy through deliberative democracy
We've published the results from our two citizens’ juries on climate change, designed and facilitated by BritainThinks.
In an exercise in deliberative democracy, randomly selected members of the public debated and deliberated a range of different climate policies, from a nationwide tree planting programme and frequent flyer levy, to switching to electric vehicles and implementing a national recycling strategy.
Our findings reflect the growing concern about climate change and demonstrate a clear mandate for government action.
